Retirement Visa

Service Overview

The UAE is a world-class destination for retirees, offering safety, luxury, and advanced healthcare. The Retirement Visa is a 5-year, renewable residency program designed for residents and expatriates aged 55 and above who wish to make the UAE their permanent home. At Amersmartuae, we specialize in managing the complex financial verification process required to secure this long-term, self-sponsored visa.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for a Retirement Visa in 2025, an applicant must be at least 55 years old and meet one of the following four financial requirements:

  • 1. Property Investment:
    Own a residential property (or properties) in the UAE valued at AED 1 million or more (fully paid, not mortgaged).
  • 2. Financial Savings:
    Have a fixed deposit of at least AED 1 million in a UAE-based bank for a minimum of 3 years.
  • 3. Annual Income:
    Have a monthly active income of at least AED 15,000 (pension or previous employment income).
  • 4. Combined Investment:
    A combination of property and savings totaling AED 2 million.

Mandatory Documents Checklist

  • Passport Copy:
    Valid for at least 6 months.
  • Original Emirates ID:
    (For current UAE residents).

    - For Savings: An official letter from a UAE bank confirming the deposit.

he Application Process

  • 1. Financial Verification:
    We review your assets to ensure they meet the specific 2025 thresholds for the Retirement category.
  • 2. Police Clearance:
    We assist you in obtaining the mandatory Good Conduct Certificate from the UAE Police.
  • 3. Application Submission:
    We file your 5-year residency request through the GDRFA (Dubai) or ICP (Other Emirates) portals.
  • 4. Medical Screening:
    We arrange a priority medical fitness test at a government-approved center.
  • 5. Digital Visa Issuance:
    Once approved, your 5-year residency is activated and linked to your Emirates ID.

Key Benefits of the Retirement Visa

  • 5-Year Stability:
    Unlike standard visas, this is a long-term residency that is easily renewable every 5 years as long as the financial criteria are maintained.
  • Self-Sponsorship:
    No employer or local sponsor is required. You are your own sponsor.
  • Family Sponsorship:
    You can sponsor your spouse and children (under 2025 rules, this includes sponsorship of sons up to age 25 and daughters indefinitely).
  • Global Travel:
    Holders are free to travel in and out of the UAE; however, to maintain residency, you must not stay outside the UAE for more than 6 consecutive months (unless holding a Golden Visa upgrade).
